Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

The days of counting money every day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another three years had passed and Ling Qiqi was twelve years old.

Some big things happened in these three years.

After a year of illness, the Empress Dowager finally passed away last year.

The next to die was Concubine De. After the Fourth Princess passed away, Concubine De's health deteriorated day by day. Ever since she saw Concubine De's face with a look of despair at life and death at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner three years ago, Ling Qiqi had expected that this day would come sooner or later.

Ling Qiqi was sad about the passing of the Grand Empress Dowager, but she had no regrets. After all, everyone is doomed to die, and no one can change their fate.

What's more, the Empress Dowager's life span was considered long in ancient times, and she did not suffer any misfortune before her death, so she could be considered to have died of old age.

During the days when the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, Ling Qiqi stayed by her side day and night. The Empress Dowager was always willing to hold her hand and listen to her talk about her past mischievous deeds and places she wanted to go in the future. Every time at this time, Ling Qiqi felt that the Empress Dowager was very attached to her, or perhaps she was not attached to her, but to her dying life.

When the Empress Dowager was about to die, the Emperor, Empress, princes and princesses, and concubines all came. The Empress Dowager looked at the people in the room and nodded with a smile, as if she was satisfied and had no regrets.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's life was about to come to an end, Ling Qiqi, who had not shed a tear in all these years, began to cry.

This time, Ling Qiqi's acting skills were not the best, but she really couldn't bear to leave the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager motioned Ling Qiqi to come to her side, and then, with the little strength she had left, she said to the Emperor:

"I am only worried about Qi'er. Qi'er has been different from others since she was a child, and I have spoiled her. With the emperor protecting her, I am not worried. I am just afraid that she will be wronged when she gets married. Qi'er is smarter and braver than ordinary women. The emperor can let her get married in the future. Even if she doesn't want to get married, it's okay. The emperor can support a daughter. At most, he can make her a female marquis."

The emperor promised repeatedly, and assured the Empress Dowager that he would follow her wishes and would not let the Seventh Princess suffer any injustice. The Empress Dowager then closed her eyes and fell asleep without any worries.

Ling Qiqi knew that the Empress Dowager doted on her, but she never thought that she would be more creative and unconventional than herself. A female marquis?

Not to mention that the emperor and everyone in the room couldn't believe it, even Ling Qiqi had never heard of it before.

The Seventh Princess observed mourning for the Empress Dowager for a year as per the rules, then moved out of De Shou Palace and asked the Emperor to live in Chu Xiu Pavilion.

Chuxiu Pavilion is located in a remote area, far away from any place in the palace. It is inconvenient to get there, and it is tiring to walk, wear shoes, and take time, so no one lives there all year round.

But Ling Qiqi not only did not mind that it was far away, but she thought that the good thing about it was that it was far away, making it convenient for Ling Qiqi to do it behind closed doors.

Although Chuxiu Pavilion is not large in scale, it has everything needed and a large yard, which makes it convenient for Mianmian to play in the yard.

The only thing Ling Qiqi was not satisfied with was the name Chuxiu Pavilion. She actually had a dream, she wanted to travel around the world, and the place she wanted to go the most was Prague. She had heard the name of this city in too many literary works, and she felt it was romantic and mysterious. Now this dream could not be realized, but she could change the name of the place where she lived now to Prague, but this name might be difficult for people today to understand, so it was easy to deal with, just make it almost right.

She asked the emperor for permission to change the name of Chuxiu Pavilion to "Bulao Pavilion", saying that it was to wish the emperor a long life. The emperor naturally agreed.

No one else understood why the Seventh Princess, who was always eccentric, came up with such an old-fashioned name. Only Lu Cheng understood that Ling Qiqi was being naughty again. What is Bulao Pavilion? It sounds like a blog. It should be changed to Bu "Lao" Pavilion to suit her better.

The eldest princess, the second princess and the third princess have all married off, and now there are only five, six, seven or three princesses of the same age left in the palace.

But there are still four princes, two six years old and two three years old, all of whom are at the age when they can play around.

These four princes all loved to follow the Seventh Princess, worshiping her like dogs, and running to the Bulao Pavilion all day long.

The Seventh Princess is both literary and martial. Sometimes she is more boyish than the boys. She has many clever ideas and often leads them to new heights of madness.

The key is to follow the Seventh Princess, and if you get into trouble, the Seventh Princess will really take the blame.

Ling Qiqi has not yet become a female marquis, but she has become the king of children.

The Queen had not bothered Ling Qiqi in recent years, mainly because she had no time to spare. The Queen was busy teaching the Fourth Prince all day, and she was cultivating the virtues of the heir to the throne with a straight face, and her ambition was obvious.

It is said that a child's future can be seen at the age of three, and his old age can be seen at the age of seven. In the professional eyes of Ling Qiqi's HR, the fourth prince is simply not that kind of material.

Ling Qiqi used to interview people every day. Over the years, she had screened at least 8,000 people, if not 10,000. Although she couldn't be said to have seen countless people, she was able to do it with some skills.

Ling Qiqi has studied constellations, blood types, zodiac signs, horoscopes, and regional differences, and has also studied Hippocrates' four fluids theory.

The Four Fluids Theory can be regarded as the forefather of modern Western personality psychology. It has subsequently spawned the Four Color Personality Types, Five Animal Personality Types, Nine Workplace Personality Types, and the most popular Sixteen MBTI Personality Types.

Personality is either innate or shaped by the environment.

The fourth prince's mother was Zheng Wanrong, a concubine. It was said that she entered the palace in place of her elder sister. She was lucky enough to be favored by the emperor and conceived a prince, but she was not only burdened by her own maids, but also ended up dying of postpartum hemorrhage. Ling Qiqi felt that it was not entirely her fate that she became a victim of her family and the harem step by step, but also showed that she lacked courage and wisdom.

The fourth prince indeed inherited his biological mother's temperament, timid and reckless.

Needless to say, the prince's temperament is pretty good, and he has high hopes for the Fourth Prince. He is not afraid that the cramming-style education will cause the Fourth Prince to suffer from indigestion.

The fourth prince was unable to understand the knowledge thoroughly or draw inferences from it, and could only memorize and recite by rote all day long.

How could such a prince be capable of such a great responsibility? The emperor was not a blind and incompetent ruler, and Ling Qiqi felt that the queen's efforts would be in vain sooner or later.

The Third Prince was the closest to Ling Qiqi. Ling Qiqi felt that it might have something to do with the injections she had given Ning Shuyi. She was also half the benefactor of the Third Prince, and she always felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw the Third Prince.

Moreover, she was there throughout the birth of the Third Prince. She was one of the first people who had met the Third Prince. Although her first impression of the Third Prince was not very good, as she saw that the Third Prince, who was uglier than a monkey, gradually looked less and less like a monkey, Ling Qiqi could not help but sigh at the magic of time and life.

The Third Prince's mother, Ning Shuyi, was also very close to Ling Qiqi. Although Ning Shuyi always verbally said that the Seventh Princess was their benefactor and wanted to repay her, Ling Qiqi felt that it might not be related to the few injections she had given her. It was because her reputation as the Seventh Princess' lucky star had always been strong. Ling Qiqi felt that Ning Shuyi simply wanted to continue to take advantage of her by repaying her gratitude.

I don’t know if it’s because of the blessing of the Seventh Princess, but Ning Shuyi has been favored by the Emperor over the years and is now pregnant.

But Ling Qiqi felt that although the Third Prince was smarter than the Fourth Prince, he was short-sighted and narrow-minded. Not only was he short-sighted and easily influenced, but he was also vindictive. He was not fit for a big job.

Ling Qiqi thought that the youngest Sixth Prince was a good candidate.

However, although Ling Qiqi had her own comparisons between the princes in her heart, she treated them all equally on the surface. After all, she didn't know which brother would win the emperor's heart in the end, so she treated them all as long-term gambling. Anyway, no matter which one she bet on, she would get a lot of money, but if she bet on the wrong one, she would lose, and she would be punished. So it's better to be a "sea king", "cast a wide net, catch more fish, and win over the best ones".
